Medical Spanish

Medical Spanish, across all clinical disciplines, has gained support as the population of LEP (Limited English Proficiency) patients has grown.  Although electronic communication devices may aid the clinician during the patient encounter, nothing can substitute for comprehensive training in basic anatomy and communication in the target language.  Appreciating different Hispanic cultures and their approaches to health care also has a positive impact on quality of care, compliance, and affirmative clinical outcomes. Interviewing and conversation skills are developed.  Target vocabularies are related to patient medical history (Hx), PT assessment and goals.  Cultural competency is a central component.

INTERNATIONAL FESTIVALS & TOURING

INTL FESTIVALS & TOURING

Theatrical experiences are more frequently crossing borders to not only share art around the world, but also to remain financially and culturally sustainable. This is the first course offered by the Theatre Program that looks at the vision and logistics of bringing theatre to places all over the world.

“The work of a director can be summed up in two very simple words. Why and How.” -- Peter Brook,
On Directing

As theatre producers and managers, we’ll ask “Why and How” in a preliminary investigation into the missions and mechanics of producing international festivals and tours. We will consider our roles as members of the international performing arts community and our relationships to our artists, our audiences, and our international partners and colleagues.

Cities of Knowledge: Orientalizing Manha

'Orientalizing' Manhattan

In this course, graduate students from different disciplines will explore the ‘Orient’ in Manhattan. The course involves the active search for and analysis of Manhattan's urban space to survey its ‘Oriental’ buildings, monuments, parks, public inscriptions, and even ephemeral, everyday spaces that carry the sense of the ‘Orient’ to the city. Cities are physical places, yet, they are also assemblages of different layers of time, and geographies. These layers are designed to create communal identities and evoke recollections of past memories. Focus will be put on the written history of these spaces by searching in archives (in the City of New York) and digging out written and oral information about the histories of the formation of these spaces and their interactions with their surroundings.

The course will cover many monuments, like the famous obelisk in Central Park or the lessknown Jordanian column in Flushing Meadows Park in Queens; public buildings like Central Synagogue on Lexington, the Islamic Cultural Center on Upper East Side Mosque, or Olana State Historic Site in Hudson, NY; but also, the inner decorations of restaurants, bars (the Carlyle Bar) and even oriental Halal shops, as well as ephemeral spaces like international fairs, and Cairene grill boots.

Traditionally, Islamic art and Islamic architecture have been studied separately within art history and architecture history disciplines. The purpose of this course is, in the first place, to bridge the gap between the two disciplines while working across theories of visual culture and critically revisiting urban studies. A further aspect evolves the discourse about architectural ornament as part of the entire approach to ornament as an ‘Oriental’ trope. Thus, canonical discussions about Orientalism will form part of the course’s readings and will contribute to understanding how the architectural ornament of Manhattan forms identities. The course will introduce and discuss theoretical issues concerning urban architecture and ‘Orientalism’ and the making of the image of ‘Others’ in NYC public spaces. It will also provide a historical survey of these spaces and aim to create a novel comprehensive map for ‘Orientalized’ New York.

Pelvic Health Rehabilitation

This course is designed to prepare the entry-level physical therapist on the unique approach in completing an evaluative screening and treatment plan for a patient with pelvic health issues.  Many pelvic health issues are frequently under-reported and under-diagnosed based on common misconceptions and social stigmas associated with these sensitive and personal conditions. As we move into our doctoring profession, health and wellness can be part of the cornerstone of a pelvic health specialty, however, appropriate and timely diagnosis and treatment is essential.  Physical therapists are an integral part of the multidisciplinary approach assisting women and men to overcome and manage health issues. This course is designed to enable students, as entry-level clinicians, to improve care for clients throughout their lifespan based on emerging scientific and clinical evidence related to medical conditions unique to pelvic health, and those which occur more frequently in women or present differently in women. The course will include presentations for key pelvic health specialty and subspecialty disciplines including bone health across the life span, obstetrics and gynecology, chronic pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, nutritional dysfunction, cancer rehabilitation and fibromyalgia.  Topics will primarily target women from adolescents, childbearing, peri-menopause, menopause, post-menopausal and geriatric years.  The pelvic health specialty will also cover similar topics for the male and pediatric populations.

Quantitative Pricing & Revenue

Quantitative pricing and revenue analytics collectively refers to the set of practices and tools that firms in various industries use to quantitatively model consumer preferences, segment their market, and tactically optimize (often in micro targeted or personalized manner) their product assortment, pricing, and promotion strategies. The origins of this field, often referred to as revenue management as it is also called, are in the airline industry during the late 80s. The prototypical question is how a firm should set and update pricing and product availability decisions across its various selling channels in order to maximize its profitability. In the airline industry, as most of us know, tickets for the same flight may be sold at many different fares, the availability of which is changing as a function of purchase restrictions, the forecasted future demand, and the number of unsold seats. The adoption of such systems has transformed the transportation and hospitality industries, and is increasingly important in retail, telecommunications, entertainment, financial services, health care, manufacturing, as well as on-line advertising, online retailing, and online markets. In parallel, pricing and revenue optimization has become a rapidly expanding practice in consulting services, and a growing area of software and IT development. We will be doing a hands-on dive into the above tools in the context of 2-3 case studies and datasets, in conjunction with lectures to set the stage. The case studies will cover markdown pricing for a retailer, demand and inventory data for a self-storage company, customer research data of a mortgage lender, and peak load pricing data for a highway toll booth.Through this course, students will be able to model and identify opportunities for revenue optimization in different business contexts. As the ensuing outline reveals, most of the topics covered in the course are either directly or indirectly related to customer segmentation, demand modeling, and tactical price optimization.TextbookOne recommended book for the course is by Robert Phillips titled "Pricing and Revenue Optimization. This will primarily be done in teams, much of it in class, and with the help of the TA(s) and the professor. Sample code will be shared for various parts of these analyses. Course deliverables align. Apart from class participation (30% of the total grade), the other course deliverables consist of a set of in-class (homework) assignments (40%) and a take-home final exam (30%).Class participation: I wi

South Asia Partitioned: Art & History

Does the long history of South Asia reflect only a teleologic march towards the partition of the subcontinent in 1947? What modes and practices, histories and concepts, which emerged in, say, the second millennium alone allow us a glimpse past the divisions, ruptures and conflicts which pre-dominate contemporary political and historical understanding? This graduate seminar takes the longue durée approach to the study of “Partition” by examining illustrated and illuminated epics and histories from the 14th century to the 19th century. This visual and textual production is put in conversation with modern contemporary artists who interrogated, imagined and wrestled with the Partition. Illustrated texts include: the Awadhi Chandayan (14th c.), Pancatantra via Anvar-i Suhayli (15th c.), and Mahabharata via Razmnama (16th c.). Artists include: Zarina Hashmi (1937-2020), Lala Rukh (1948–2017), Shahzia Sikander (b. 1969) and Varunika Saraf (b. 1981).

The U.S. Healthcare Industry

The U.S. healthcare system is an enormously complex, trillion-dollar industry. It includes thousands of hospitals, nursing homes, specialized care facilities, independent practices and partnerships, web-based and IT supported service companies, managed care organizations, and major manufacturing corporations. Healthcare is the fastest growing component of many consulting practices and investment portfolios. In dollar terms, it accounts for over 18% of GDP and is larger than the total economy of Italy. It continues to grow in size and complexity, complicating the long-standing problems of increasing costs, limited consumer access, and inconsistent quality. And, the historic Affordable Care Act has resulted in significant changes throughout the entire industry and will have major implications for years to come. This tremendous dynamism is unmatched by any other industry and offers incredible opportunities for new business endeavors."

Cervicogenic Pain & Temporomandibular Jo

Cervicogenic Pain & TMJ

Physical therapy education relative to an understanding of the various types of headaches, orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), as well as their inherent patho-physiological mechanisms, are commonly not covered sufficiently within the entry-level or graduate physical therapy curriculum. This specialty course has been designed to fill the void, which exists beyond the evaluation of the cervical spine and provide knowledge as well as training in definitive evaluative and therapeutic skills unique to this specialty area.

This course is designed to provide the information and necessary skill to delineate the major types of headaches, orofacial pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movement disorders and associated symptoms that originate from the craniofacial and temporomandibular regions from those of a cervicogenic and/or comorbid origin. An in-depth understanding of the anatomical and neurophysiological factors relative to the trigeminocervical, sub-occipital and temporomandibular complex, as well as the cranium in relation to headaches and orofacial pain will be presented. Sub-occipital, orofacial, temporomandibular and cranial pain/dysfunction syndromes will be analyzed with emphasis placed upon their delineation and subsequent development of comprehensive therapeutic paradigms. Workshop sessions will follow the lectures and focus upon case study analysis, proper sequencing and use of manual upper ¼ and craniofacial (intra & extraoral) soft tissue and joint mobilization techniques, therapeutic exercise, adjunctive modalities, dry needling as well as postural and ergonomic intervention for the reduction of pain and inflammation, restoration of function and prevention of recurrence.

Diagnostic Imaging

To fully practice in a direct access setting, physical therapists must have the ability to order diagnostic imaging, when appropriate. Several states, such as Utah and Wisconsin, have sought and received approval for physical therapists to order diagnostic imaging and continued efforts to advance diagnostic imaging privileges are underway in additional states. Physical therapists in the U.S. military have effectively utilized diagnostic imaging privileges since the 1970s. Over the past 50 years, US military physical therapists have become the musculoskeletal provider of choice and nearly all practice in a true direct access setting.

In this session, a group of experienced military physical therapists will introduce attendees to the foundations and principles of diagnostic imaging as well as the procedures for ordering, interpreting, and integrating radiographic imaging results into clinical practice.   In addition, this course will emphasize the rationales and evidence-based guidelines to assist practitioners in the utilization of plain film radiography in clinical practice.  Clinical case reports will also be presented to reinforce concepts and provide practical applications of skills.  At the conclusion of this session, participants will be more comfortable ordering, viewing, and interpreting the results of diagnostic imaging studies.

Nurse Anesthesiology Residency I

NURS ANESTHESIOLOGY RESID

This is the first of five clinical residencies that provide the opportunity for nurse anesthesiology residents (NARs) to integrate theory into practice within the clinical setting. NARs move along a continuum from healthy adults to patients with multi-system failures. The focus is on perioperative theory transfer, the development of assessment skills, and the developmental implementation and evaluation of an individualized anesthesia care plan. Cultural humility will be incorporated into care plans to develop anesthetic management individualized to patient identities and cultures while including an emphasis on social and cultural health disparities. Patient interviews and teaching are integral to this process. Basic principles of decision-making are emphasized throughout. Mastery of the Nurse Anesthesia Residency I objectives is required by the end of this residency. Practice settings include operating rooms, emergency rooms, and off-site locations including but not limited to diagnostic and interventional suites. CRNA or physician anesthesiologist preceptors serve as facilitators of learning. Clinical conferences and professional meetings help to reinforce and enhance learning.

Sociomedical Sciences Applied Quantitati

SMS Applied Quant Rsrch M

This course is designed to teach quantitative analysis to social and behavioral sciences students. It integrates an introduction to quantitative analysis with social science applications in public health, with instruction in use of the R statistical package. This course builds on the Quantitative Foundations concentration of the ReMA Studio of the Core and Intro to Sociomedical Science Research Methods (P8774). Weekly lectures will cover quantitative analysis with a focus on linear regression. Course lectures will begin with graphic and tabular methods for exploring and summarizing distribution of a single variable and the relationships between two and three variables. The course will then proceed with a nontechnical instruction in the application of the single equation regression model. It will introduce students to the standard linear additive model and interpretation of key model parameters. It will cover assumptions of the linear model and discuss some alternatives to the linear model when assumptions are violated. Weekly computer labs will instruct students in R programming. The lab content will parallel lecture material on quantitative analysis including writing basic R programming language. Students will learn to select and use online public use “sociomedical” data sets (e.g., NYC Community Health, NHIS, NHANES, GSS, BRFSS, YRBSS surveys, etc.) for use in the course and in their final project. The course will further emphasize the art of tabular, graphic, and written presentation of the results of quantitative analysis. This is an applied course, emphasizing hands-on work using statistical programming and skill building appropriate for research positions or further graduate study.

CHINESE MEDIA CULTURES

What is media and mediation? How do aesthetics, techniques and technologies of media shape perception, experience, and politics in our societies? And how have various forms of media and mediation been conceptualized and practiced in the Chinese-language environment? This graduate seminar examines critical issues in historical and contemporary Chinese media cultures, and guides students in a broad survey of primary texts, theoretical readings, and research methods that place Chinese media cultures in historical, comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives. We discuss a variety of media forms, including paintings and graphic arts, photography and cinema, soundscapes and the built environment, and television and digital media. The class covers a time span from mid-19 th  century to the present, and makes use of the rich holdings at the Starr East Asian Library for historical research and media archaeology.   

Open to MA and PhD students. Advanced undergraduates need to have instructor's approval.
Language prerequisites: intermediate or advanced Chinese; rare exceptions upon instructor’s approval.
